Gov. Tom Wolf Thursday ordered all schools closed in Montgomery County, which is the epicenter of Pennsylvania's coronavirus outbreak with 13 cases there.

"As you know, the communities of Montgomery County border the T/E School District," Superintendent Robert Gusick said in a letter to the community Thursday. "Approximately 25 percent of our teaching staff, in addition to many members of our support staff, reside in Montgomery County. To remain in keeping with the spirit of the Governor’s containment action, TESD employees who are residents of Montgomery County should not report to work."
